the tension, the pining, the passion. *chefs kiss*
It’s a big statement to make but… I think this might be my favourite book (if not joint favourite) from Ali Hazelwood yet. It had everything I love in a rom-com; 10/10 characters who are fleshed out and well developed, high and emotional stakes, slow burn but gallons of chemistry and so much more. This was a delight to read and I’m keeping my fingers crossed it gets a companion sequel as with Ali’s adult romances because I couldn’t get enough of this.
